The young married couple had been looking for three years, noticed the market drop late last year, saved like mad by moving in with a relative and managed to secure their first house at the weekend. They paid $1,235,000 for a four-bedroom house in Collaroy Plateau.

No. 122 Parkes Rd, Collaroy Plateau sold for $1,235,000.

“We were looking at up to 11 properties a weekend, started to see price drops before the end of last year and then again at the beginning of this year,” Mrs Duprere Rowan said.

The couple loved the Plateau but never dreamt they could afford to buy there.
